从本体到过程——现代美学研究目的和思路的转变及其哲学基础

古代美学向现代美学转变，不仅是时间的推移，也不仅仅是研究时象和方法的不同，更重要的是研究目的和思路的转变。古代美学的研究目的和思路是寻找具体的终极的“美”，用“美”来解释和说明美感的产生以夏审美活动的种种变化。现代美学的研究目的和思路是说明审美现象发生的过程，通过审美发生的过程说明审美活动的实质。在这种转变的背后，是不同哲学观和方法论的转变。对这种转变实质的认识不足，是当前美学发展的最大障碍。

From Ontology to Process——Transformation of Purpose and Train of Thought in Modern Aesthetic Research and Its Philosophic Foundation

The transformation from ancient aesthetics to modern ones not only refers to the lapse of time and the difference in research objects and methods,but also to the change of research purpose and train of thought specially.Ancient aesthetic research aimed at seeking the final "beauty",by which the occurrence of beautiful sense and all kinds of changes of aesthetic activity were explained.But modern aesthetic research directs at expounding the process of aesthetic phenomenon occurrence,by which the essence of aesthetic activity can be revealed clearly.Actually this transformation is based on the changes of different philosophy and methodology.Meanwhile,it is pointed out that insufficient knowledge of this transformation become the big barrier to the present aesthetic development.
